TIP 1
- Chelsea to win
- Sheffield Wednesday or the draw
- Wigan v Shrewsbury - over 2.5 goals
- Oxford over 1.5 team goals
4.57/1
CHELSEA V NORWICH (Chelsea to win)
Chelsea have had an awful start to the season, however they still have hold of one of if not the best manager in the world and they must be due a win from somewhere, and I feel it will be against an out of form Norwich City side. Norwich come into the game at Stamford bridge with only one win away from home whole all season, and I think this is set to continue against an out of form Chelsea side, people seem to forget that Chelsea have hold of some of the most prestigious players in the world and they are not going to play bad forever. Therefore I believe this is a big chance for Chelsea to try kick start this season and they get the nod from me.
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY V HUDDERSFIELD (Sheffield Wednesday to win or the draw)
Wednesday come into this came off the back of a defeat to Charlton which was their first loss in 12, however with their recent form I don't see them making a habit of losing especially to a Huddersfield side that have only won 1 out of their last 8, however with recent weather conditions I think the safe bet would be to back the bet up with the draw as well, the championship is not a league I like to pick winners since as we have seen in the past anyone can beat anyone, although in these circumstances I can't see this Huddersfield side that is low in confidence and form walking away with all 3 points. So Wednesday do get the nod from me to pick up something.
WIGAN V SHREWSBURY (Over 2.5 goals)
2 out 3 of Wigan's last home games they have scored at least 4 goals and I'd say that this would be set to continue against a Shrewsbury side that struggle to play away from home, however Shrewsbury may not pick up much away from home but they have proven to be able to score goals, which maybe possible against a Wigan side that have proven shaky at the back after conceding 4 against Bury a couple of weeks ago, this game looks likely to be an exciting one on paper and let's hope it doesn't disappoint.
DAG & RED V OXFORD (Oxford over 1.5 team goals)
Oxford have proven to be one of the strongest teams in league two this season and this look set to continue against a side that sit rock bottom with just 9 points from 16 games. Dag & Red are seriously struggling and can't stop conceding goals, even when they do pick up something they still manage to concede. Oxford have scored 2+ in their last 4/5 games and don't think they will have any bother in doing that against this struggling Dag & Red side, hopefully they will show no mercy and kick these off the park and bag at least two which going with stats and on paper should be no bother for this Oxford side. I'm expecting goals and Oxford get the nod to score at least 2.
TIP 2
- Real Sociedad v Sevilla - Both teams to score (Spain - La Liga)
- Ajax over 1.5 Team goals (Holland - Eredivisie)
- Anderlecht to win either half (Belgium - Pro League)
2.05/1
REAL SOCIEDAD V SEVILLA (Both teams to score)
Both these teams have been average this season, and are probably on similar form however they both can score goals and Sevilla have scored in 3/5 of their last away games, and should continue against a weak Sociedad defence, however Sociedad can score goals on their day and this Sevilla side has proven to be leaky as they have conceded away from home against two teams that sit in the relegation zone and you'd expect Sociedad to get some chances to score on the day going off this stat. Both teams have made poor starts to the season so I expect the defences to be shaky and we could see goals in this one. Both teams to score seems a good bet with the odds.
AJAX V CAMBUUR (Ajax over 1.5 team goals)
This Ajax team score goals for fun at home and this Cambuur team concede goals away from home for fun, so whose to say we won't see a cricket score, Cambuur have picked up 7 points from 12 games this season and their dreadful start should continue against an Ajax team that should show no sign of slowing down with their terrific start and this game on paper should be a goal fest. Ajax will score 2 no bother in this one.
LOKEREN V ANDERLECHT (Anderlecht to win either Half)
Going off stats in this one I expect Anderlecht to win a half no bother but the win itself doesn't seem as likely, we get nice odds on this one and hopefully Anderlecht won't disappoint. Anderlecht have only won 2/5 of their last away games but have only lost 1, so the win would be a risky one and if you want to go for that feel free, but my tip is to go for the win either half for Anderlecht.
TIP 3
(LONG SHOT SCORE + WIN)
- PSG TO WIN + BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (France - Ligue 1)
- FK AUSTRIA VIENNA TO WIN + BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (Austria - Bundesliga)
- HEARTS TO WIN + BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (Scotland - Premiership)
33/1

TIP 1
- Tottenham to win
- Inter Milan over 1.5 team goals
- Red Bull Salzburg v Sturm Graz - Over 2.5
- Fc Copenhagen -1.0 Alternative Asian Handicap
3.72/1
TOTTENHAM V WEST HAM (Tottenham to win)
Both teams have been playing well recently, but Tottenham just edge this for me playing at home as well. They have been brilliant this season. The fact both teams score goals however made it a hard choice to pick a winner until earlier this week when the news came out that West Ham had a massive injury blow to the on form Payet who has been exceptional for them this season and has played a massive role in their success. They also are without suspended James Collins, plus the likes of Sakho and Valencia are both sidelined with injuries also. So for the pure fact that West Ham are without their best players that have been inspirational for them this season, Tottenham get my vote along with their form.
INTER MILAN V FROSINONE (Inter Milan over 1.5 team goals)
Inter Milan have had a successful start to their season and have great home form, they come up against a side sat in 18th and struggling to achieve anything away from home, Inter don't score too many goals against the teams considered the stronger sides but they have been grinding out wins, and I feel in this game it should be a comfortable victory against a team that concede a lot when playing away, Inter are massive favourites at 1/5 so they should have no problems in scoring a couple of goals against weak opposition at the San siro.
RED BULL SALZBURG V STURM GRAZ (Over 2.5 goals)
If anyone pays attention to the Austrian Bundesliga then they will know the Salzburg games are not shy of goals especially when they are at home, 6/7 of Salzburg's home games have had 3 or more goals this season and this looks set to continue against a Sturm Graz team that enjoy to score goals and concede, this could be a high scoring game and good viewing for the neutral, this should be an easy tip to land on paper.
FC COPENHAGEN V VIBORG (Fc Copenhagen -1.0 Alternative Asian handicap)
In Denmark, Copenhagen lead the way and no wonder looking at their home form as they still remain unbeaten after 8 home games, as well as scoring lots of goals in what people would consider a pretty poor standard of league, as people can guess they don't concede many at home, and are odds on favourites going into this game, which I think looking at stats they will win comfortably and Viborg shouldn't pose a threat due to their dismal away form. I'd expect the handicap to land in this one.
